Communications

Bruce,

When you get a moment we'd like to go over the results for the studies you conducted on the communicator again. Our second opinion fell through, but taught us a rather important lesson about being cautious. I wonder now if we come off as poorly as her, and hope we are not quite so strange and arrogant.

Regards,
Robert

After this net conversation...

>> Hey, cousin, got any plans for Thanksgiving?
>> We've been invited to Jean's house, with her and her parents.

>> Hey you, gorgeous brilliant woman.
>> Wanna go have some dinner at my place for date number seven?

>> I'm going to be a Greek goddess for Halloween.
>> Which one do you think I should be?

[Text to Bruce Banner]
>> Hello Dr Banner.
>> I've just realized it's been some time since we last caught up.
>> I'm sure I'll see you at the Stark Halloween party, but I thought we should fix that.
>> Lunch some time?

Hey Doc. Banner,

Do you feel like shaking the collective academic braintrust for a night of good horror movies delicious caramel popcorn?

[ Text to Pepper Potts ]

>> Hey, come down to the lab when you get a chance.

[ Text to Bruce Banner ]

>> I changed the permissions to my lab.
>> You've got entry, but I wanted you to know in case JARVIS cocks up or something.

[ Text to Arthur Smith ]

>> I've changed some security settings around my lab, FYI.

» It's over.
» We're safe now.

"I don't want shawarma. Admit it. You guys hated it. No, no pita-based foods. I'm thinking Mexican."

» Everyone's getting married these days.
» Its exhausting.

>> I dragged Thor to Vegas
>> We'll have a formal thing in the fall.

» You're welcome, by the way.

» Don't wait up.

Dr. Banner,

You don't know me, but my name is John Blake. I made a crack about the incident at the wedding, and it was in bad taste. You might think it kind of weird I'm apologizing for something you didn't see, but I was raised by nuns and priests that would kick my ass if I didn't. I was out of line, and I'm honestly really sorry for it.

Take it easy. I hope everything gets better for you soon.

John Blake.

>> Bruce I know you're probably sitting somewhere, trying to calm down and get your focus back.
>> But I am telling you that Hulk or not, if you don't apologize to Pepper soon?
>> She is going to kill you.

>> I think you should come home.
>> For reasons.

» Heading home early.
» I didn't forget this time.

>> Roses: Smell like ass, right?

A fancy invitation is sent out to everyone who is registered on the network and left at their front door. It is a red box with gold ribbon containing a little champagne bottle, bubbles, confetti, a Iron Man & Pepper figurine and the following invitation to a certain wedding:

>> Shwarama or Falafal?

Text to Maria Hill

>> Hoping that first round was in time.
>> And not just because I know you'd kick my ass if it wasn't.

Text to Bruce Banner

>> Give me some good news, buddy.

Test group #1 is dead due to acute respiratory distress and subsequent respiratory failure. I have been administering antibiotics and concoctions of various medicines to alleviate breathing difficulties to the rest of the test groups. I'm also infecting new groups, so that it can be done in a stepped process to see if there is any difference when things are administered during viral progression.

At the very least, perhaps we can determine if it will stall the virus at some point, but results are not promising thus far. No changes. The data from group #1 from infection to cessation of life, is contained in the attachment, below.

>> I know we just got back from one crisis, but have either of you looked into this illness yet?

Dr. Banner,

My name is Maria Hill. I believe we've met, briefly, at a few of Mr. Stark's gatherings. I'd like to speak with you in person at your earliest convenience.
